There have been quite a few fights at the start of this season and yesterday we saw the first severe cheap shot of this season. Flyers' Jesse Boulerice lost it and cross checked Canucks' Ryan Kesler right in the face/jaw area. Kesler went down as Boulerice was ready to drop the gloves for Kesler or any Canucks player as the Canucks players came rushing in to get a piece of him. Watch the video below. Maybe now the Canucks will dress a tough guy/enforcer besides Jeff Cowan who isn't an enforcer. Don't be surprised if Boulerice is suspended for 20+ games.
Also in the YouTube video is Flyers' Ben Eager bumping into Canucks' goalie Curtis Sanford and everyone gets involved. Eager tries to beat the crap out of fairy pansy Matt Cooke, while R.J. Umberger and Jeff Cowan try to go.

Early week roundup, Red Wings get a fight!
This past Saturday was a slow night. Usually Saturdays bring a lot of rough stuff but not this time. There were only two fights. In the Thrashers-Penguins game, Keith Tkachuk and Maxime Talbot dropped the gloves but Talbot had no chance in this one as Tkachuk threw all the punches (none landed though). Decision to Tkachuk. The other fight of the night was a heavyweight bout between Derek Boogaard and Raitis Ivanans. It wasn't the slugfest that we all hoped for, but Ivanans showed he can hang in there with the "Boogieman." It looked like both guys didn't land any punches but they both threw quite a few. By the way I really hate those Minnesota Wild homer broadcasters. I know most if not all television broadcasters are homers but the Wild broadcasters are way over being homers and just plain old annoying at times. View the Boogaard-Ivanans fight below.
On Sunday there was only one fight, with Ian Laperriere and Jeff Cowan having a good bout. Laperriere won the start of the fight but Cowan came back at the end to give this one a draw.
On Monday the Detroit Red Wings actually had a fighting major. Andreas Lilja dropped the gloves with Travis Moen. He probably should have thought that one through as Moen threw most of the punches in their fight. Lilja did though look to land the first punch of the fight, but after that it was all Moen. Decision to Moen.

Sunday night roundup
On Sunday there were six fights, and three of those were in one game. First, in the Bruins-Red Wings game Jeremy Reich and Darryl Bootland had a spirited bout with Reich getting the decision. In the Kings-Stars game, there were two fights. The first one was a short one with Jeff Halpern instigating a fight with Dustin Brown after Brown hit Mike Modano. No winner here as it wasn't much of a fight. Later Tom Kostopoulos and Krys Barch had a fight where it was mostly all Barch throwing punches. Decision to Barch.
In the Canucks-Ducks game there were three fights, all in the first period. First Kevin Bieksa instigated a fight with Dustin Penner after Penner hit a Canucks player hard into the boards. It was all Bieksa as Penner lost his balance and Bieksa got in some good punches on Penner. Decision to Bieksa. Later Jeff Cowan and Shawn Thornton dropped the gloves and Cowan looked off balance and it was all Thornton in that fight. Decision to Thornton. Later in the first period Jeff Cowan and Joe DiPenta dropped the gloves and it was all Cowan as he right at DiPenta with lefts and DiPenta fell backwards to give the decision to Cowan.

Thursday and Friday fight roundups
This post will be a recap of Thursday's and Friday's hockey fights. On Thursday there were two fights. In the Avalanche-Blackhawks game Mark Rycroft and Danny Richmond dropped the gloves off a faceoff and had a spirited bout. They were mostly in tight and neither one could land a good punch. I would give this one a draw.
The other fight was in the Coyotes-Canucks game with Josh Gratton and Jeff Cowan going at it. The television feed that I saw did not show the whole fight as when the camera finally got on the fight, Cowan was down and then Gratton lost his balance and went down to the ice while throwing one last punch at Cowan. I can't really give a decision because I didn't see the whole fight.

Blues and Ducks go at it
Last night was a good night in the hockey fight department. With the St. Louis Blues recalling tough guy D.J. King once again and with the Blues facing the Anaheim Ducks we all knew that there had to be something in this game. And we were right because D.J. King dropped the gloves with Shawn Thornton and I would give King the win/edge in their fight. Later in the game Matt Walker and George Parros had a heavyweight bout. It wasn't much of a fight though because Walker lossed his balance and couldn't stay up. I would give it a draw/maybe an edge to Parros. Also yesterday Jeff Cowan and Aaron Downey fought.
In the Islanders-Penguins game, the Islanders tough defenseman Brendan Witt layed out Sydney Crosby with a huge hit. Then Ryan Whitney came over and went at Witt and also Ryan Malone came over. Witt and Malone got their gloves off and went at it in a not-so-interesting fight. Good to see Crosby's teammates standing up for him and a good hit by Witt.
